Los Angeles! Cinefamily’s United States of Horror midnight series begins tonight!

In October 2012, L.A.’s storied Cinefamily made me ache from the East Coast as they rolled out a Video Nasty each midnight of October. This year, they’re again blowing minds, cinematically touring this great nation (and maybe in such gruesome fashion they sparked a government shutdown), highlighting all manner of genre filmmaking in many corners of the U.S. Undisputed classics, regional oddities and holy shit rarities (prints of WHITE OF THE EYE and DEATH BED!) are on deck. Find the full lineup below, and go because I can’t.

“…it’s a cross-country death trip,” so says the theater, “with each night celebrating a different state of the Union, and regional horror filmmaking of all stripes. Whether it’s unknown directors toiling away on backyard labors of love, or itinerant auteurs falling in love with and shooting an unfamiliar landscape as if it was their own, this series’ thirty entries provide a vibrant overview of our nation’s hidden horror history.”

You can find an elaborate, detailed home base for THE UNITED STATES OF HORROR at the Cinefamily site. Below, you’ll see the titles and dates in full! Anything you’re particularly excited for? ABBY, SHAKMA, HEX and THE MANITOU seem like musts.
